You should read his Wikipedia page. It's a hoot. Search "Cliff Alexander basketball" because he is not the first Cliff Alexander people search for.
His "College Career" is all about how people thought preseason he would be great but then he never did anything and then didn't get drafted after he went pro. Scoring 10 points against Rider gets cited.
BTW, what kind of F-d up Conference does "Preseason Freshmen of the Year" awards? What does that even mean?
